Is It Just Me Or Does A Nice Pelikan Pen..........

make even paying bills by check enjoyable.

[zaddick]

If you want to increase your enjoyment level, I accept checks.

[Driften]

It's just you... Also make sure you are using an ink that can't just be washed away to alter the amounts writing on it.

[inkstainedruth]

Depends also on the nib. Right now I've got the vintage 400, OB nib inked up with Diamine Terra Cotta, so no check writing with that pen (I think my bank would frown at the color).

OTOH, they *might* just accept Iroshizuku Kon-peki in the Pilot Decimo, F nib. After all, it *is* blue....

pelikans have that magic effect!

[Claud]

I paid some with MB Royal Blue in my blue M605, and some with my plain old black and gold M400 with MB Mystery Black.

I think I might get in trouble if I used either of my two Diamine Shimmering black and blue inks.

That is something to consider, Driften. What are the best permanent black and blue inks???

Paying bills is never enjoyable, especially if you be poor. BUT, using a Pelican does make it a little less painful - especially if I use Noodler's Blue Ghost.

What, you're not using pink ink? Because we all know just how much you LOOOVE pink....

It's not just you... I use my birds for all of my everyday writing and they make any writing experience more enjoyable... Esp when you use cool colors

[Runnin_Ute]

My birds get used for all kinds of things as well. Of course, I mix them with some other pens too.

[Matlock]

Of course, we in the UK, write cheques not checks which takes just a little more ink.

I was almost conned yesterday by someone who owed me their money in fees, I had been to see them to make them pay, they took out their check book, I told them the amount, they said that they didnt have a pen, I passed to them a P51. They said that they couldnt remember how to use a pen.

 

I said Ha (verb) Ha.

 

Magically they suddenly remembered.

 

Apparently pretty women are not meant to use that verb in society or business.

 

Tough, pay your bills on time.

OK I'll confess. I do use pink ink for checks, but only when I pay my subscription to Guns and Ammo

Ive been taught only British English and thought to myself damn...nobody in this thread knows how to spell cheque! I had no idea americans spell it check. I thought I knew most of the differences between american and british, but this one was new to me.

 

Real talk, though...who the hell still uses cheques?! I havent seen one in over a decade!

Lots of differences between American English and English English. As an example, being "knocked up" in England means having some one wake you in the morning. In the USA, it means you're pregnant. I could go on.

I can't think where I put my cheque book, or whether I still have one.

I am not using my Pelikans for that since years either, oddly what has taken their place in this task is my cell phone...

still, Pelikans do make touching that pay now button a little too easy

[Runnin_Ute]

As far as checks (cheques) go, I probably write two or three a month still. Mostly related to my mother's care and one or two other periodic items. (she is in a care center, and for certain things they will not take even a debit card. Check or cash only.

You are welcome Allan. I value making people laugh higher than small checks. It's good to smile.

 

Cheers,

I was knocked up rather early this morning and thought I had left my cheque book in the boot of my car but straightaway remembered I had left it in my bumbag.
